Day 05: Dig Them Horns

Ernie Wilkins - Top Brass Featuring Five Trumpets (London/Savoy Records, 1956 First UK Mono Pressing)

This seems highly appropriate for today's challenge. A staggering 5 trumpet players on this album, Donald Byrd, Ernie Royal, Idrees Sulieman, Joe Wilder, Ray Copeland. Plus there's Kenny Clarke on drums, Wendell Marshall on bass, and Hank Jones on piano.

Ayler on tenor sax and Cherry on cornet. Lots of overblowing and other adventurous playing.

Day 05: Dig Them Horns
Spin an LP that predominantly features brass or woodwind instrumentation

The Boo Radleys - Everything's Alright Forever

Decided to choose an album where the horns are not in their natural habitat, so here's where shoegaze met horns.

Day 5: Horns

I played trombone in high school, and Oingo Boingo always hit the spot for me with their focus on horns. This album in particular with the trombone solo on Who Do You Want to Be.

Day 05: Dig Them Horns
Spin an LP that predominantly features brass or woodwind instrumentation

Nubya Garcia - Nubya's 5ive

This is a very special album for me. I remember hearing it for the first time in an NYC bar in 2017. To that point, I had never listened to a single second of jazz. Something about Nubya's sound just clicked with me, and I was hooked. 3 years, and a shitload of jazz rabbit holes later, I have over 200 jazz records in the collection...all thanks to this album.

Day 3 - Sports!



Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain

"I'm sure you'll have
Some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure"

Day 06: Major Label Debut
Spin an artist’s first album for a major recording label

Can't really think of a major label leap that had more impact on the ears and the business than this one.

A million hair metal bands wept...

Nirvana - Nevermind

Day 06: Major Label Debut

Weezer - Weezer ("The Blue Album")

The debut, and released on DGC Records. Grungy, but fused with an accessible pop-rock sound. You can hear the shimmering production of late Cars' frontman Ric Ocasek all over this one, as well as Rivers Cuomo channeling Ocasek's distinct voice.
